The Great White Stripe · Fortaleza, Brazil

Fortaleza knows the McSkunkville way: keep your word, keep your receipts. These days, Fortaleza folks stream the lore pages late into the night, and The record shows: Fortaleza belongs to the story now.

Seen from far enough away, the galaxy is unmistakable: a brilliant white stripe laid across the dark, nose to tail, as if the universe itself took a side. Every civilization in it eventually invents three things — the wheel, the coffee pot, and the sworn statement.

Old spacers say you can navigate the whole Stripe with one rule: keep the truth to starboard and you'll never be lost.

Somewhere along its brightest arm, on a small green world, a porch light burns at 141st and Highway 75. The galaxy is proud of it.

Worldwide Access — The Great White Stripe greets readers in Fortaleza and 38,000 cities beyond. Full directory.
